Be forewarned - the little .32 bore fouls quickly. You had better swab your bore out after each shot. You can use a simple spit patch on a jag to wipe most of the fouling out.
That is very god info, thank you. I have yet to find any type of owners manual or such to get the specs ratings and capacities straight from the manufacturer. will keep looking tho. I don't even see any for sale other than a couple used... guess it's out of production.
